Apenas logré dormir anoche. Me duele la garganta y cada vez que comencé a consolarme, empezaba a oponerme y tengo que sentarme.

Así que entrevisté a mis aceites azules vitales y comencé a jugar. No hay mejor manera de descubrir qué funciona realmente a partir de una prueba ficticia en medio de una crisis de salud.

Como sabrán, los aceites esenciales son propiedades antimicrobianas POSSSS que pueden ayudar a mejorar la función inmune, promover la salud respiratoria respiratoria y minimizar el riesgo de infecciones virales o bacterianas que pueden presentarse a la garganta de lactancia u otros síntomas de resfriados y gripe.

¿Qué es un dolor de garganta?

Se puede experimentar un dolor de garganta como una sensación de rasguños, fragmentadas, ardientes o dolorosas en la parte posterior de la garganta, que a menudo se desarrolla cuando se traga o habla.

Cuando el tejido que recubre su garganta (mucosa) se inflama e irritan por una infección viral, como resfriados o gripe. Además del dolor, puede tener síntomas como tos, secreción nasal o dolor en la oreja o en el costado del cuello.

Síntomas de dolor de garganta

Los síntomas comunes del dolor de garganta pueden incluir:

• Dolor o sensación de rascado en la garganta
• Tragación
• Ganglios linfáticos hinchados en el cuello
• Dolor de oreja o cuello
• Ser eliminado o de voz apagada
• Tos, estornudar, correr nariz

Cómo los aceites esenciales ayudan a aliviar el dolor de garganta

Los aceites esenciales, con sus propiedades naturales antiinflamatorias y descongestionantes, pueden ayudarlo a mantener la garganta y mejorar su capacidad de respirar y tragar fácilmente.

Los aceites esenciales contienen propiedades expectorantes que pueden ayudar a definir y calmar un tracto respiratorio irritado y mantener un drenaje mucoso de las orejas, la nariz y la garganta. Los excesivos ayudan a expulsar el moco de su cuerpo y mantener su desintoxicación respiratoria.

En particular, el aceite de eucalipto publica un antibacteriano, antiséptico, expectorante y descongestante, lo que puede ayudar a eliminar el moco de su garganta, que puede contribuir a la sensación de inflamación. El aceite esencial de menta tiene las propiedades de las expectativas, que también pueden ayudar a mantener la congestión del respirador superior causado por el asma, la bronquitis, las alergias, los resfriados o la gripe.

Las radios de eucalipto se pueden usar de forma independiente o como parte de Breathe ™ Mezcle para ayudar a calmar a la hermana hermana y calmar espasmos bronquiales que pueden conducir a la tos. Debido a que el aceite de eucalipto puede estar «caliente», lo que significa que puede causar una sensación caliente o de calentamiento cuando se aplica a la piel, incluida la piel que la piel se pone roja, y recomienda diluir más atresse con aceite de usuario.

Además, los aceites esenciales pueden aumentar la circulación y el flujo sanguíneo a lo que puede ayudar a acelerar la curación. Por ejemplo, los aceites esenciales pueden ayudar a relajarse y mejorar la salud de sus vasos sanguíneos, ayudar a más circuitos sanguíneos a través de ellos, mejorar su circulación y aumentar los niveles de oxígeno.

I am in the middle of a legal dispute with a contractor who I now suspect is suffering from cognitive decline.

We have had positive experiences with this individual in the past. Yet his current behavior—countless mistakes, delays, constant confusion over project and cost details, fits of rage in response to seemingly benign questions—makes no sense…

I was sharing the unusual behavior with a colleague who pointed out that confusion, poor judgment, and uncontrolled rage were early signs of cognitive decline.

Suddenly, his behavior made a lot more sense, and it reminded me of a recent study I had seen on the benefit of olfactory stimulation for cognitive decline.

The Role of Smell in Cognitive Decline?

Cognitive decline refers to a gradual loss of mental abilities, such as memory, attention, reasoning, judgment, and the ability to complete complex tasks.

Interestingly, your sense of smell is strongly tied to cognitive function and can help restore function when impaired. Research has found that impaired smell is one of the earliest and most common symptoms of cognitive decline.

Your sense of smell— or olfactory channel— declines with age. However, increasing evidence suggests that smell dysfunction is also an early sign of neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s). 

Research published in Lancet Neurology proposes that damage to neurotransmitter and neuromodulator receptors in the forebrain may be a common link in the smell impairment associated with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. More than 90 percent of Parkinson’s patients report some level of olfactory dysfunction.  Similarly, almost all patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s suffer from odor-identification issues.

Studies have shown impaired smell to be even stronger than memory problems as a predictor of cognitive decline in currently healthy adults, as it can precede the classic motor signs of the disease by several years.

The research also highlights the role of faulty brain chemistry, particularly involving the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, in the smell impairment that accompanies neurodegenerative disease.

Symptoms of Cognitive Decline

The decline of mental abilities associated with cognitive decline may include:

• Memory Problems, including difficulty remembering recent events or conversations
• Impaired Reasoning and judgment
• Difficulty with problem-solving, decision-making, planning, or completing tasks
• Reduced concentration or attention
• Slowed thinking or processing
• Confuse details, Trouble understanding or interpreting written or verbal information.
• Poor focus or attention span, increased distractibility
• Mood changes, including rage, irritability, and impatience
• Language Issues, including difficulty finding words, “losing your train of thought,” repeating stories, or trouble understanding or following conversations

Benefits of Olfactory Stimulation

Inhaling essential oils may help increase odor stimulation, which has been shown to improve the brain’s memory centers. This may be because the olfactory system is the only sensory system with direct projections to the limbic system, which is crucial for memory and emotion.

The loss of olfactory stimulation is believed to cause the brain’s memory centers to deteriorate. Research has noted that cognitive decline is accompanied or even preceded by a loss of sense of smell.

Research has found that “the olfactory sense is the only sense that has direct access to the memory centers of the brain and [aromatherapy] is a good way to stimulate those centers with little effort.”

Some research indicates that regular exposure to multiple scents or odorants — a practice known as olfactory enrichment — can benefit cognitive abilities.

A new clinical study found “significant improvements” in cognitive skills—like verbal fluency and short-term memory—after exposure to essential oil blends of multiple odorants. 

The study found improved verbal function, word list recall, decreased depression symptoms, improved functioning, and increased thickness in the parts of the brain known to deteriorate during cognitive decline. “The change in the thickness (in brain regions like the hippocampus, thalamus, and frontal cortex) was positively associated with improved executive function.

More specifically, the uncinate fasciculus—a significant pathway connecting the basolateral amygdala and the entorhinal cortex to the prefrontal cortex—deteriorates in aging and has been suggested to play a role in mediating episodic memory, language, socio-emotional processing, and selecting among competing memories during retrieval.

Essential Oils for Cognitive Decline

Some research indicates that regular exposure to multiple scents or odorants—a practice known as olfactory enrichment—can benefit cognitive abilities in older adults.

This success was “achieved with daily exposure to four odorants that represented the resinous, flowery, fruity, and aromatic odor groups. There are further improvements in olfactory ability with increased duration of exposure, increased concentration of the odorants, and an increased number of odorants,” such as those present in essential oil blends like the following:

1.     Anti-Inflammatory™

Brain inflammation, or neuroinflammation, may contribute to the development and progression of various forms of dementia. Calming inflammation in the brain may help prevent cognitive decline.

Plant compounds—like polyphenols and flavonoids—have been shown to reduce inflammation in the brain (Study). Distilling these concentrated plant essences into essential oils makes them more accessible to the brain, helping to calm inflammation.

Research shows that phenolic compounds—found in spices such as cinnamon, ginger, clove, thyme, oregano, rosemary, parsley, and basil—modulate inflammatory pathways, noting that “Spices are known to possess a variety of antioxidant effects and other biological activities. Phenolic compounds in these plant materials are closely associated with their antioxidant activity, mainly due to their redox properties and capacity to block the production of reactive oxygen species… Many spice-derived compounds are potent antioxidants that may help protect the human body against oxidative stress and inflammatory processes.”

Anti-Inflammatory™ blend contains phenolic compounds like Ginger, which is known to help prevent chronic joint inflammation, bring heat, and stimulate circulation, which helps calm inflammation and pain. Similarly, Frankincense™ oil has long been heralded for its anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, and pain-relieving properties. Research shows frankincense and its anti-inflammatory constituent alpha-pinene significantly inhibit inflammation and enhance immune-supporting properties.

Apply Anti-Inflammatory™ to areas where inflammation is experienced or suspected, including the base of the skull or the bottom of the feet.  Anti-Inflammatory™ is designed to reduce inflammation, rebalance the brain, and encourage the regeneration of damaged or stressed cells and tissues that have been chronically or acutely inflamed.he bowl and gently inhale the steam) or used with a hot wet towel compress to the throat area.

2.  Parasympathetic®

Acetylcholine is a chemical messenger released by the vagus nerve that plays a crucial role in memory, learning, and other cognitive functions.

A decline in the production and function of Acetylcholine –  particularly in the brain regions involved in cognitive processes – is believed to contribute to cognitive decline. People with neurodegenerative diseases make less acetylcholine, and the diseases often break it down at a faster rate, leading to acetylcholine deficits.

Acetylcholine activates and inhibits communication between different brain regions to store information properly. For example, it tells the hippocampus to store and consolidate memories.

Acetylcholine can excite and inhibit brain function by speeding up or slowing down nerve signals. In the central nervous system (i.e., the brain), acetylcholine is mainly excitatory, allowing your neurons to communicate so you can think clearly, learn new information, and form new memories.

Cognitive enhancing drugs, known as nootropics, actually work by stimulating the acetylcholine receptors found within the brain.   Increased acetylcholine levels in your brain often correlate with improved cognitive function, including enhanced executive function (planning and decision-making), memory, creativity, and motivation. Without optimal acetylcholine levels in your brain, your focus becomes sluggish, causing brain fog and mental fatigue. Your vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, and stimulating your vagus nerve helps to promote the release of acetylcholine.  You can naturally stimulate your vagus nerve by topically applying our stimulatory Parasympathetic® behind the earlobe on the mastoid bone where the vagus nerve is closest to the surface of your body.

When applied to the vagus nerve, behind the ear lobe on the mastoid bone, the Parasympathetic® blend stimulates the vagus nerve and triggers the release of the anti-inflammatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine.  Research has found that essential oils are some of the most effective tools to regenerate and heal these acetylcholine-producing systems.

The primary ingredient in Parasympathetic®, Clove essential oil, is high in flavonoids, plant compounds that have been shown to reduce inflammation in the brain. Cloves are loaded with polyphenols. Research on clove essential oil has demonstrated robust anti-inflammatory effects that significantly inhibited the increased production of several pro-inflammatory biomarkers.

Stimulating your vagus nerve also triggers the release of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine into an area of the brain called the amygdala, which strengthens memory storage and improves your ability to process and retain information.

A recent study also found that Sage was the most effective essential oil at blocking the breakdown of acetylcholine.  The “inhibitory activity produced by sage was significantly higher from the rest of the essential oils. Lemon myrtle and rosemary exhibited moderate benefits in blocking the breakdown of acetylcholine.

Sage’s benefit is highly attributed to its constituent, Rosmarinic acid, which has been shown to have potent neuroprotective therapeutic effects against Alzheimer’s disease. Essential oils from the mint family have also been demonstrated to improve cognitive performance in Alzheimer’s disease patients.

3. Circulation™

Brain circulation, or brain blood flow, is the movement of blood through the arteries and veins that supply the brain with energy.

Your brain needs a healthy supply of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to function correctly. Although your brain accounts for less than 2% of your body weight, it consumes approximately 20% of your oxygen and 50% of available glucose.

This high oxygen demand makes the brain susceptible to damage when oxygen levels are low. The brain is the most vertical tissue in the body, with the smallest blood vessels furthest from the heart. Due to its vertical position, it consistently deals with the force of gravity, making it a problematic organ for delivering blood.

Your brain contains the densest network of blood vessels carrying oxygen in your body.  Any hindrances in oxygen-rich blood flow can contribute to brain cell death and degeneration.

For example, decreased blood flow or reduced circulation to the brain—which in turn reduces the healthy supply of oxygen and nutrients the brain needs to keep neurons metabolically active and functioning correctly—may contribute to dementia symptoms, including brain fog, fatigue, memory problems, or poor cognitive function.

Anything you can do to support the health of your circulatory system will help enhance blood flow through your arteries, which carry oxygen, glucose, and other nutrients to the brain. Similarly, your veins carry metabolic waste out of the brain, and supporting the health of your circulatory system helps ensure that waste is eliminated correctly.

Oxygen helps expedite your body’s healing process.  So, increasing your brain’s available oxygen can improve your mental clarity while reducing your risk of dementia.  It’s not surprising that pharmaceutical drugs designed to improve brain function often enhance blood flow to the brain and improve the brain’s ability to utilize oxygen.

Brain circulation enables energy production in the brain and plays a vital role in preserving cognitive functions.  Research supports this and finds that increasing brain circulation in some brain regions may improve cognitive deficits and relieve brain fog.

In a research study designed to assess the factors related to dementia and cognitive decline, researchers found that in 1,716 subjects without dementia, an increased probability of cognitive decline was related to decreased brain blood flow.

Natural compounds, like essential oils, have been shown to increase circulation and blood flow to the brain.

Essential oils may help improve circulation by relaxing the smooth muscles that line the blood vessels and improving their health. This allows more blood to circulate through them, improving circulation and increasing brain oxygen levels.

Plant compounds, including the highly concentrated essence of plants found in essential oils,  have been shown to help the veins contract, stimulating blood flow and enhancing “brain microcirculation,” which is blood flow through the body’s smallest vessels.  They may help reduce some of the buildup of triglycerides that can form and restrict blood flow.

Terpenes – the highly aromatic chemical component of essential oils that are believed to provide the first line of defense in the plant’s immune system – increase cerebral blood flow, thus indirectly enhancing oxygen delivery to the brain. Research on the “Functional imaging of effects of fragrances on the human brain after prolonged inhalation” demonstrated a direct increase in blood flow to the brain following the inhalation of essential oils.

“The effect of the fragrance 1,8-cineol, which was described in literature as ‘stimulating’, on regional and global cerebral blood flow in the human brain after prolonged inhalation was investigated” (Full Study)

Sesquiterpenes are a subclass of the large terpene chemical family that are abundant in essential oils derived from plants, including black pepper, cedarwood, frankincense, ginger, myrrh, patchouli, sandalwood, spikenard, and vetiver.  Essential oils high in sesquiterpenes have been shown to help oxygenate your brain. Sesquiterpenes are carbon chains that do not contain oxygen molecules but seem to pull oxygen in. This may be one reason why essential oils high in sesquiterpines increase oxygen levels in the brain when inhaled or topically applied to the skin around the head.

Topically apply Circulation™ blend along the sides of the neck, the back of the neck, and the temples to support healthy circulation and blood flow to the body and the brain.

4. Blood Sugar Balance with Hypothalamus™

Your brain needs glucose or blood sugar energy to support your balanced brain chemistry and prevent neurodegeneration.

Brain activities such as thinking, memory, and learning are closely linked to glucose levels and how efficiently your brain uses this fuel source. 

Your brain accounts for 2% of your body weight, but it consumes as much as one-third of all the sugar energy in the body. This is because your brain is rich in nerve cells, or neurons, which have an incredibly high energy demand and require continuous glucose delivery from blood.

If there isn’t enough glucose in the brain, the brain’s chemical messengers, known as neurotransmitters, are not produced, and communication between neurons breaks down. Similarly, when neurons in a particular brain region lose the ability to use glucose efficiently as fuel, your brain cells begin to atrophy, contributing to neurodegeneration.

For example, blood sugar dysregulation—including insulin resistance or diabetes—may damage blood vessels in the brain, promoting inflammation and potentially increasing the buildup of amyloid plaques. These can impair brain function and increase the risk of dementia. Any difficulty burning glucose for fuel can lead to sluggish brain activity, brain shrinkage, and even death of brain cells.

There is growing research regarding the application of essential oils to help manage blood sugar levels to a healthy range.  For example, research has found olfactory receptors in pancreatic cells that release insulin and modulate glucose metabolism.

In other words, our sense of smell, triggered through essential oils, can play a decisive role in blood sugar balance.  Moreover, a medical researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is testing a blood sugar management tool through the olfactory channel.  The nasal spray, called intranasal insulin (INI), enters the brain through the olfactory channel. It binds to receptors in the brain, including the hypothalamus, to deliver accessible insulin to the brain, allowing glucose into the cells to improve signaling within these memory networks and enhance cognitive function.

“In a pilot study, Novak and her colleagues found that a single dose of INI positively affected memory, verbal learning, and spatial orientation.”

As the brain plays a key role in blood sugar regulation and the sense of smell is the easiest channel into it, essential oils are quickly gaining momentum as an ideal remedy for balancing blood sugar within the brain.

Supporting the regions of the brain and the organs associated with blood sugar regulation, in addition to healthy diet and lifestyle choices, helps to keep blood sugar levels in the brain balanced.

Neurons in the hypothalamus play an essential role in blood sugar regulation, so returning the hypothalamus to balance may help restore normal glucose regulation.  

Research suggests that blood sugar regulation depends on a partnership between the pancreatic islet cells, which produce insulin, and neuronal circuits in the hypothalamus and other brain areas intimately involved in maintaining and regulating normal blood glucose levels.

The research specifically tested how neurons in the hypothalamus impact glucose metabolism and found that the brain-centered system for regulating blood sugar levels, known as the glucoregulatory system, plays a key role in glucose homeostasis and may act independently from the insulin’s action.

To help return the hypothalamus to the balance for optimal blood sugar support, apply one drop of Hypothalamus™ to the forehead right above the third eye (right above the nose between eyebrows and hairline) up to 6 times daily.

5. Drainage with Lymph™

Poor lymphatic drainage, particularly in the neck, may hinder the removal of waste products from the brain. This could lead to the accumulation of amyloid-beta and other neurotoxic proteins, contributing to cognitive decline.

For example, some research suggests that environmental toxins gain access to the brain via nasal mucosa—the layer of mucus lining the inside of the nose—potentially triggering cognitive decline and disrupting smell.

Your brain drains toxins from the brain down the neck.  Your cerebrospinal fluid moves quickly across the brain tissue in a sweeping motion around the neurons and then exits along the veins in the neck.  This movement is controlled by the lymphatic system in combination with glial cells known as astrocytes or the glymphatic or glial-dependent lymphatic systems.

Topically applied essential oils can play a huge role in helping the brain detoxify. They can be especially powerful in supporting the brain, as it is primarily comprised of fat. Essential oils are fat-soluble, so they easily penetrate and assimilate into the system.

Specific oils for supporting brain detoxification include Lymph™.  The lymphatic system needs to function optimally to remove toxins from the brain.  If you think of the body as a hydraulic system where congested tissue downstream prevents optimal flow upstream, congested lymphatic vessels in the neck will impede the drainage of toxins from the brain.  To enhance lymphatic flow and drainage, generously apply Lymph™ around the sides of the neck.

Your feet are necessary for survival. They support all forms of movement, enabling you to stand, balance, move, navigate your environment, and, when required, escape danger. 

Stress triggers a cascade of physiological responses to prepare you for perceived threats. This “fight or flight” response involves the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.

Increased levels of stress hormones may constrict blood vessels, reducing blood flow to peripheral areas such as the feet. This can result in reduced nutrient and oxygen supply to the feet’s tissues, potentially leading to discomfort, pain, and slower healing in case of injuries.

Stress heightens muscle tension throughout the body, including subconscious gripping of the feet, in preparation for survival, i.e., gripping for dear life. The “fight or flight” response helps prepare you for immediate physical action if you need to move quickly. However, chronic stress prolongs this response and leads to muscle tension, which affects the lower limbs. The muscles in the feet and calves can become tight and may grip to prepare you to fight or flee.

Like emotional armoring, unconscious or involuntary physical tension in your muscles and connective tissue can act like physical armor to shield or protect you from physical danger, unresolved traumas, and negative emotions. 

Benefits of Feet

Each of your feet contains 26 bones, 33 joints, around 72,000 nerve endings, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all working together to allow you to walk, run, and jump. The feet also help support your:

Mobility: Your feet allow you to move, which is fundamental for survival. It will enable you to find food and shelter or escape danger.

Balance and Stability: Your foot’s complex structure, including bones, joints, muscles, fascia, lymph, tendons, and ligaments, supports your balance and stability in life.

Survival: Your feet allow you to fight back or flee in a dangerous situation.

Grounding: Your feet are often the primary point of contact with the Earth, allowing your body to connect to the planet’s energy and recharge. More here.

Reflexology Points: Foot reflexology is a form of massage therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the foot that are believed to be correlated to other organ systems and regions of the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine focuses on healing through the movement of energy along meridian lines. It’s believed that when pressure is applied to reflex points along the meridian, the health of the area of the body that corresponds to each point is affected. To this end, applying essential oils to specific points on your feet is believed to benefit specific organ systems. You can find a detailed foot chart here to help with oil application.

Indicators of Emotions: Your feet are directly in touch with your survival instincts, making them a good indicator of your emotional state and intentions, revealing what you are sensing, thinking, and feeling. Your limbic brain—the center of your emotional response system—reacts instantaneously to incoming information from your environment. Emotional reactions occur before thought. Before you’ve had time to develop any conscious plan, your limbic brain has already ensured that your feet are geared to freeze in place, run away, or kick out in defense.

Symptoms of Gripping in the Feet

Gripping in the foot represents the involuntary excessive tightening of the muscles in the feet and toes. This could respond to the need to hold on to the Earth for stability and self-support.

Symptoms of foot gripping may include both physical and emotional symptoms:

Emotional

• Feel stuck in an extreme environment and unable to take action
• Experienced continuous traumatic events and weren’t able to leave the situation
• Desire to run away (but perhaps cannot)
• Seeking Stability: foot gripping might be an unconscious attempt to find stability or a sense of grounding, especially when dealing with emotional or mental distress
• Digging your toes in might subconsciously relate to inflexibility or control issues
• Prolonged mental or emotional disturbance may trigger a tightening of your foot’s arch or curling of the toes

Physical

• Restricted Mobility affects your ability to move freely and comfortably, as your feet are the foundation of your movement and mobility
• Stiffness, pain, and weakness in the feet and ankles
• Altered posture, gait, or stance as stress may impact posture, resulting in a bracing response or an imbalance of weight distribution to your feet and ankles
• Referred pain in other areas of your body, such as tightness in the feet, may exacerbate existing muscular imbalances, leading to uneven stimulus of the affected structures
• Foot pain or cramping
• Plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of the foot) and other foot problems. Stress can cause tiny tears in the plantar fascia, making walking difficult.
• Poor Circulation and Cold Feet—Under stress, cortisol, and other stress hormones may constrict blood vessels and redirect blood flow away from the feet and ankles toward more essential organs. This can result in a lack of oxygen and nutrient supply to your feet and ankles, causing pain. As the farthest point from the heart, your feet often bear the brunt of circulation issues. This may feel like a burning, cold, numb, or tingling (pins-and-needles) sensation in your feet and ankles. Poor circulation can also delay the healing of wounds and exacerbate conditions like varicose veins or peripheral artery disease.

Essential Oils for the Feet

Essential oils can be topically applied to the soles of your feet and between your toes to help release gripping and support health.

Essential oils are lipophilic (fat-soluble) and comprise super-small molecules that penetrate the skin for easy absorption into the bloodstream.

As an extremity, your feet are located furthest from your heart, making it more difficult to receive healing remedies, especially if circulation is challenging. For example, cold, tingly toes, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, hammer toes, and fallen arches are examples of poor blood flow to the feet, which can impact your posture and how you move, sit, and stand.

Topically applied essential oils impact the feet immediately and directly, allowing the oils’ physical, mental, and emotional benefits to reach multiple organs, systems, and areas of the body that need support.

Your feet are the foundation of your body. If they grip, it throws everything upstream, causing the rest of the body to be out of alignment.

Applying essential oils topically to the bottom of your feet can improve blood flow and mobility, release fascia, stimulate muscles, reduce tension, and ease pain.

1. Fascia Release™

Fascia is the band of thin, fibrous connective tissue that wraps around and supports every structure in your body, including the feet and toes. It twists and turns from the feet up the body, helping to support the arch of the foot and playing an essential role in standard foot mechanics during walking. 

When your fascia is healthy, it’s flexible and stretches with you. When stressed, it tightens up, restricting movement and pulling you out of alignment. Patterns in your fascia develop to compensate for how you walk and stand. These facial misalignments can contribute to gait issues, including pronating and supinating, foot issues like bunions, or even ankle instability. These misalignments can impact everything up the chain.

Fascia Release™ is formulated to improve the ankle muscles’ physical, mental, and emotional flexibility. Helping to release fascial adhesions in the feet may help strengthen proper alignment and unwind the challenges responsible for creating adhesions in the fascia and blocking energy flow throughout the body.

Fascia can help with functional movement by reducing friction between structures. The collagen that makes up fascia is organized in a wavy pattern. Healthy fascia layers are flexible and can slide over one another. When pulled, these tissue lines resist tensile and shear loads, helping keep your feet and body parts together.

Stress and tension can limit flexibility, and the fascia can become matted and form hardened areas called adhesions. Fascial adhesions or hardened and adhered fascia—which can no longer slide smoothly—lead to restricted movement and foot gripping, especially if the fascia becomes so thick that nerves constrict. Fascial compartments may also become tight and not allow for normal movement of lymph and blood into and out of the compartment, contributing to pain and swelling.

As you may know, fascia lies just below the skin, so topically applying essential oils to the skin allows for easy and immediate access to the fascia. The skin is your largest organ and is relatively permeable to fat-soluble substances like essential oils that can permeate the tissue and may help release adhesions and fascial restriction, increase circulation, and decrease swelling in the tissue around the feet.

The essential oils in the Fascia Release™ blend are uniquely formulated to unravel deeply held tensions, constrictions, and energetic blockages in your tissues to reduce pain, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, and release fear, repressed emotions, and tension held in the body (organs, muscles, tendons, bones, and joints) or the mind.

Fascia Release™ blend can be topically applied to the soles of your feet and between toes to create space between those joints and help bring the body into balance. For example, you can roll essential oils on the bottom of your feet to improve blood flow and release fascial adhesions. Roll the Fascia Release™ on the back of the toes, then slide your fingers between your toes, pressing to the point of discomfort, and hold for three minutes. This can undo the fascial holding pattern and tremendously help with your balance (be patient with this one; it could take some time to fit your fingers between your toes!)

2. Adrenal®

Your adrenal glands are essential to the body’s stress response, secreting stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. To help your adrenal glands support the healthy release of stress hormones, you can topically apply Adrenal® on the adrenal reflex point on the inner edges of the feet. These reflex points play a crucial role in managing stress hormones. Applying pressure here can help balance cortisol levels and contribute to overall relaxation.

To locate the adrenal reflex, follow a line straight underneath the ball of your big toe, called the Tendon Line (the tendon that pops out when you point your big toe towards your chin). The reflex is located slightly off the tendon line towards the medial side (towards the big toe side of your foot), halfway between the ball of your big toe and the highest point of your arch. Topically apply Adrenal® along with gentle but deep thumb pressure to this point for 1-2 min. 

You can also topically apply 1-2 drops of Adrenal® on the adrenal glands (on the lower mid-back, one fist above the 12th rib on each side). Dilute if desired or if any redness occurs.

Inhaling Adrenal® blend through the left nostril helps to stimulate the left frontal lobe and create a balance between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, which then balances the over-activity of the right frontal lobe and leads to feelings of calm.

3. Parasympathetic®

Foot gripping is a physical response to “fight or flight” situations.

Calming the sympathetic “fight or flight” nervous system response may help promote overall nervous system balance and release gripping. The lime oil in the Parasympathetic® blend can help promote emotional grounding, fostering a balance between the heart and mind, the connection of which enables you to ground. 

To experience these benefits, apply Parasympathetic® over the vagus nerve, located behind the earlobe on the mastoid bone where the vagus nerve is closest to the surface of your body.

4. Limbic Reset™

Your limbic system governs your emotional responses and survival instincts, including the “fight, flight, or freeze” response. This response then influences your feet’s reactions, movements, and stances.

Your limbic system—your “threat-detection & response” mechanism wired to respond to sensory information—reacts instantaneously to incoming data from your environment. Emotional reactions occur before thought. Before you’ve had time to develop any conscious plan, your limbic brain has already ensured that your feet react instantly to any threat or concern.

Your body and the limbic system can get “stuck” in hypervigilance and over-reactivity, categorizing non-threatening stimuli as threatening, triggering involuntary protective responses, like feet gripping. Helping to restore proper function to the limbic system can help TURN OFF the alarm in your limbic system—in effect, rebalancing inhibition and activation—and TURN ON your body’s self-healing mechanisms by regulating your “fight or flight” and “freeze” responses.

As your sense of smell is critical to your sense of safety and your olfactory bulb is physically located near your limbic system, essential oils can be a powerful tool to help restore the proper function of your limbic system.

Olfactory stimulation with essential oil blends like Limbic Reset™ can reset the volume of threat perception and help calm the over-firing of your limbic system.

Limbic Reset™ contains essential oils designed to calm threat arousal and send safety queues to help reset your limbic system and support healthy emotional regulation. Topically apply Limbic Reset™ on the bottom of the feet, and especially on the amygdala reflex point on the big toe. You can also apply Emotional Points on the forehead (above the eyes and on the temples) and an emotional release point at the base of the skull at the back of the neck.

5. Anti-Inflammatory™

Topically applying the Anti-Inflammatory™ blend to the bottom of the feet before bed can calm inflammation in the body and the skin.

Anti-Inflammatory™ is designed to reduce inflammation and encourage regeneration of damaged or stressed connective tissues, including those involved in foot gripping. Anti-Inflammatory™ is especially helpful for calming inflammation in protective tissues around nerves, reducing the inflammatory compression contributing to nerve pain. Anti-Inflammatory™ contains Ylang-ylang, which has healing properties that repair nerve damage.

It also includes Frankincense™, known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and sedative properties. Frankincense™ has been shown to improve the accurate transmission and communication of messages between the nerves and the brain. Incorrect sensory messages can result in nerve pain, so improving the accuracy of signals can eliminate pain.

Anti-Inflammatory™ also contains ginger, an excellent antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and kill bacteria to heal infectious areas. Ginger oil is a rubefacient, which means it is warming in nature. It helps dilate capillaries and increase blood circulation.

It’s perfect for chronic joint pain, stiff muscles, and tendons and ligaments that need softening. When applied topically, ginger directly inhibits vanilloid receptors to soothe nerve pain, increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and relieve achy pain. Apply 2-3 drops of Anti-Inflammatory™ to the bottom of the feet before bed.

6. Circulation™

Circulation™ helps support the delivery of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the feet to help speed healing and pain relief. Formulated to support healthy circulation to deliver oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the body and the brain while simultaneously carrying toxins and waste away from the cells to be eliminated, the Circulation™ blend may help open the vasculature to allow for optimal blood flow to both carry healing oxygen and nutrients to cells and allow a painful and inflamed area to heal faster.

Circulation™ contains powerful oils known to support bone health, including Cypress oil, an antispasmodic known to improve circulation and reduce fatigue and stress. Similarly, Nutmeg oil soothes pain, and research has proven its anti-inflammatory properties in reducing pain and swelling.

Black pepper is one of the best oils for alleviating deep tissue pain. It warms muscles and increases blood flow to the injury while reducing inflammation and pain. In combination with ginger essential oil in the Circulation™ blend, Black Pepper helps enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and block pain. The heat of these oils is known to speed up the healing process. Apply 2-3 drops of Circulation™ on the bottom of the feet or around the ankles to help increase blood flow.

I have carried extra weight since middle school—nothing excessive—just an additional 10 to 15 pounds that I can’t seem to lose no matter what I try.

It finally occurred to me that it might be emotional—a subconscious defense mechanism to help me feel less attractive, less noticeable, and therefore safer.

In reading Amy Griffin’s new book, The Tell, about suppressed childhood sexual trauma, I recognized myself in some of her trauma response behaviors—the need to constantly stay in motion and distracted, unable to remember specific aspects of childhood, and continually seeking external validation to avoid having to experience internal feelings.

On some level, I also knew there was a reason I began to carry extra weight and try to make myself invisible after middle school. I knew something was there, but I was unsure how to process it, so I kept moving and distracting myself. 

I often joke that when I don’t know what to do, I do nothing. In some ways, this might have served me well—because when it comes to intensely painful and traumatic experiences that you do not know how to process, diving in without guidance and support might actually make the situation worse, a little bit like opening Pandora’s box—which is a bit of what Amy Griffin details in the book.

Over the past few years, I have been playing with different trauma release tools—including essential oils, somatic therapy, and other frequency medicine—to help shift the energy of the trauma without the need to relive and re-experience it.

What is Emotional Weight?

Emotional weight is extra body weight that you emotionally “hold onto.”

Excess weight may be used as a physical and emotional shield to render yourself less attractive to the opposite sex, especially if you experienced trauma, abuse, or unwanted attention as a result of your physical appearance.

Carrying extra weight may help create a perceived physical barrier between you and the rest of the world, protecting you against further harm. On a deeper level, weight gain can be a subconscious way to avoid unwanted attention or sexual advances. 

It may help you feel more invisible or less vulnerable. If you don’t stand out, you might not get hurt. If you experience powerlessness or shame over something related to your appearance, minimizing your appearance may feel like one of the few options you have available to protect yourself from future harm. 

This is often a subconscious choice—or subconscious defense mechanism—as you may not even actively remember the abuse. After reading The Tell and overlaying some of Amy Griffin’s experiences with my own life, I can see how we simply choose to forget what is too painful to remember.

Indications of Emotional Weight

It is not uncommon to suppress traumatic memories, so even if you do not recall the trauma or abuse that might have prompted you to carry emotional weight, the physical, mental, and emotional character traits below are common among survivors of abuse.

Fear of Vulnerability or Distrust: If you experienced trauma and felt unsupported, you may struggle to trust others or feel safe being vulnerable with others. You may fear getting hurt or rejected or expect to be ‘let down,’ so you either isolate yourself or become too clingy or over-dependent.

Control: Trauma is not something most people would choose, so the experience of trauma may feel like an experience that was outside of your control or against your will. In the aftermath of this experience in which you may have felt powerless, you might go to more extraordinary lengths to attempt to control small things in your life or find it hard to say ‘no’ when necessary or assert your own needs. This may also present as behaving aggressively and trying to control others to regain control.

Sympathetic Dominance: Your sympathetic nervous system—your “fight-or-flight” response—keeps you safe and can become overactive in response to physical or emotionally stressful or dangerous situations, including those traumatic experiences you have yet to process. This can present as anxiety or hyper-vigilance—a state of feeling constantly ‘on guard’ or worried about safety and looking for potential threats—or an exaggerated fear of danger or fear that something terrible is going to happen.

Dissociation: A common coping mechanism if you have experienced trauma, Dissociation is an adaptive or unconscious response to threat and is a form of “freezing” and disconnecting from your senses, thoughts, feelings, emotions, or memories. You may feel detached from your body or surroundings. You shut down to remove yourself from a situation in your own mind when physical escape is not possible.

Pain: Pain can result from a prolonged stress response to trauma. The nervous system remains alert, leading to muscle tension, inflammation, and other pain-related conditions, including headache, back pain, or joint pain.

Gut issues: Your digestive system is susceptible to stress and emotional distress. Gastrointestinal problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), stomach ulcers, and chronic indigestion, may occur in adults who have experienced trauma.

Autoimmune disorders: Severe stress and trauma can trigger or worsen autoimmune conditions where your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues.

Difficult emotions: You may feel low, sad, anxious, angry, or irritable. You may also feel intense feelings of guilt or shame, or ‘being to blame’ especially if you were manipulated or forced to keep the abuse a secret – or tried to blame you for the abuse. These feelings of shame can affect self-esteem, contributing to feelings including ‘useless,’ ‘different,’ ‘bad,’ ‘dirty,’ ‘not good enough,’ or ‘worthless,’ and these can become core self-beliefs. You may also feel overly self-critical, expecting too much of yourself—known as ‘perfectionism’—or others experienced as criticism or judgment.

• Lack of focus: Survival brain makes it hard to concentrate. You might have trouble finishing one activity in a focused manner or how you “usually” can.
• Poor memory: You may only remember small fragments of what happened or be unable to recall whole periods of your childhood. You may have buried the memories until you are more ready to cope with them. Like dissociation, memory loss is a natural defense mechanism developed to help protect yourself from recalling distressing and overwhelming experiences.
• Fatigue: You may feel more mentally fatigued and quickly drained.
• Emotionally reactive: You may find yourself crying easily, overacting emotionally with anger or aggression, or feeling grumpy, depressed, or snippy when your survival brain is running the show.

Essential Oils to Release Emotional Weight

One of my goals in processing trauma—especially trauma that is so intense that my conscious mind has chosen to suppress it—is not to necessarily relive it but instead to gently release it.

Essential oils and other frequency medicines are gentle, natural mechanisms to support this easy, non-traumatic release of trauma from the body. It has been my experience that essential oils can, in essence, help to erase and rewrite emotional memories and the associated thought patterns.

This is partly due to how trauma and memory are stored in the brain and how your sense of smell can travel directly to the emotional center of the brain, known as the limbic system.

When you inhale essential oils, the odor molecules travel through the nasal cavity and trigger electrical impulses to the olfactory, which then transmits the impulses to the amygdala, the part of the brain where emotional memories are stored.

Your sense of smell links directly to emotional states and behaviors often stored since childhood. In fact, of the five physical senses, smell is the only one directly linked to the brain’s limbic lobe—our emotional control center. Anxiety, depression, fear, anger, and joy all physically originate from this region. All other physical senses are routed through the thalamus, which acts as the switchboard for the brain, passing stimuli onto the cerebral cortex, the conscious thought center, and other parts of the brain.

This strong connection between smell and the brain’s emotional center may explain why a particular scent can evoke powerful memories and emotions. Essential oils enable us to access stored or forgotten memories and suppressed emotions to acknowledge, integrate, or release and transmute them.

The word “emotion” can be translated as “energy in motion.” Emotion is the experience of energy moving through your body. This emotional energy works at a higher speed than thought. Thought and images can take seconds or minutes to evoke a memory, while smell can evoke a memory in milliseconds. Forgotten memories and suppressed emotions can wreak havoc in our lives, often being the unsourced causes of depression, anxiety, and fears. Essential oils can help you release and transmute these emotions wherever they are stored in the body or energy field without re-experiencing or reliving them.

Bladder Support™ Essential Oil to Release Emotional Weight

Your body intuitively knows what it needs. Just as you might crave a hamburger when you need iron or chocolate when you need magnesium, you will intuitively be drawn to specific essential oil blends when they are likely to benefit you.

Vibrant Blue Oils Bladder Support™ blend was specifically formulated to help overcome and heal emotional traumas and clear the residual emotional debris often stored in the bladder, including sexual trauma.

This blend never appealed to me personally until I began to do this work. When you are ready to release and transmute old energetic patterns, the tools that may help you with that process may smell different and significantly more desirable.

As you may know, your bladder is a pear-shaped muscular sac in the pelvis, located just above and behind the pubic bone, that stores and eliminates liquid waste.

In Chinese medicine, the bladder is also considered a storehouse for emotions, managing emotional reserves and overflow. When you feel internally empty of reserves, everything seems too much to handle, uncertain, and frightening. Similarly, when emotions are overflowing, you may feel awash in an internal torrent, drowning, out of control, and driven to desperation.

Often, these overwhelming emotions feel too much to handle in the moment, so you may store them in the bladder until you can process and move through them.

Vibrant Blue Oils Emotion Bladder Support™ blend allows you to let go of the negative past and release the emotional trauma from the body. It assists in overcoming feelings of despair and the feeling of being pushed over the edge. It contains the following supportive essential oils:

Frankincense (Boswellia carterii): May help relieve anxiety, nervous tension, and stress-related conditions. Frankincense is also known to help promote feelings of safety and help overcome fear of the future.

Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens): Soothes anxiety and reduces stress. It helps support acute fear and overcome abuse, hurt, and the extra weight you might carry to protect yourself from future hurt.

Helichrysum italicum: Helps to heal and regenerate nerves and connective tissue. It may help support your adrenal glands to optimize stress-handling capacity.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Lifts mood and helps balance mood swings. It normalizes emotions and brings deep relaxation. It may help support irritability, moodiness, shock, fears, insecurity, restlessness, depression, nerves, and stress.

Petitgrain Bigarade (Citrus aurantium var amara): Helps ease panic, anger, and anxiety and relieves nervous exhaustion, depression, stress, and mental fatigue. It may also stimulate the conscious mind to support clear perception and focus.

Rose (Rosa Damascene): Helps to relieve stress, anxiety, apathy, depression, and indifference. It can also support energy, confidence, and a positive mood.

Sandalwood (Santalum album): Can be very grounding and stabilizing. It may help overcome low self-confidence, grief, and fear and allow you to feel safe.

Spruce (Tsuga canadensis): Supports the nervous and glandular systems. It mentally grounds, helps balance the solar plexus and promotes feelings of safety.

Valerian Root (Valeriana jatamansi): Considered the best oil for sedative and calming properties. Supports any tension, restlessness, agitation, and panic attacks. It helps calm the mind and positively redirect thoughts.

Inhalation of Bladder Support™ blend: Take a deep breath, then slowly inhale and exhale the oil for 3-7 breaths, letting your body know you are safe with every inhalation. On the exhale, focus on releasing any emotions, trauma, or other old or stuck energy that no longer serves you. 

You may consider adding the following affirmation:

“I am safe. It is safe to let go of the trauma. It is safe to let go of the extra weight. It is safe for me to be seen again.”

You may shake, cough, or feel the energy shifting. If you stop smelling it, you may also know that the oil is working.

You can also add Bladder Support™ blend to bath water to help release the emotions to release past or present feelings of hurt, fear, abandonment, and abuse. I find that it helps focus on the smell and the present moment in the bath. Concentrating on your five senses—smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound can help ground you in the present moment and shift you out of past trauma or future worries.

Grounding, or mentally and physically connecting to the healing energy of nature and the Earth, can help support your clarity and perspective to release trauma triggers.

You can carry the blend with you and inhale as often as needed for as long as needed until the trauma starts to clear.

Topical Application: Topically apply 2-3 drops over the bladder (just above and behind the pubic bone), directly over any areas where you might be carrying emotional weight, or around the outside of earlobes or the bottom of the feet. 

This chart shows specific application points on the ears. 

This chart shows specific application points on the feet.

Topical application can be a powerful tool. Your skin is relatively permeable to fat-soluble substances like essential oils, making topical or transdermal application extremely effective. Topical application also bypasses the stomach and liver, which can chemically alter the therapeutic effects of drugs and essential oils.

It is important to note that different application points yield different results. You can significantly amplify your results by intentionally applying essential oils to specific healing points known as acupuncture points or reflexology points correlated with particular organ systems or regions of the brain.

Aceites esenciales para su propio valor

Los aceites esenciales mantienen la salud mental y el estado de ánimo en general, lo que ayuda a inspirar confianza y autosconfianza.

Ya sea inhalado o usado temáticamente, los compuestos de aceite esencial afectan la química del cerebro y su cuerpo al activar sus receptores olfativos ubicados en la nariz o por absorción de la piel.

Su sentido del olfato está directamente asociado con la parte de su cerebro, que regula la liberación de hormonas que afectan su estado de ánimo y estado emocional.

Los aceites esenciales viajan a través de los pasajes nasales al cerebro, que se conectan a los receptores olfativos. A partir de ahí, llegan al centro emocional del cerebro conocido como el sistema límbico, donde pueden estimular la liberación de neurotransmisores, como la serotonina, que puede afectar su neuroquímica al ayudar a mejorar la confianza y fortalecer el autogobierno.

Los estudios confirman esto, señalando que «la inhalación de aceites esenciales puede informar señales del sistema olfativo y estimular el cerebro para ejercer neurotransmisores (por ejemplo, serotonina y dopamina), regulando así aún más el estado de ánimo». Estudios adicionales muestran que los aceites esenciales pueden afectar significativamente el cerebro, calmando el estado del estado emocional y reduciendo la presión arterial, la frecuencia cardíaca y la temperatura de la piel, lo que indica que reduce los esfuerzos autónomos.
